Given that this is present as an issue, there shouldn't be any other issues. We should not have a pedophile as the leader of the country.

Just saying this mostly for myself, as a way to stay sane.
pedophilia is the president's worst issue
Enten: "Trump is 39 below water on the Epstein case. 39 points in the negative! My goodness gracious. What Trump has been selling on the Epstein files, the Epstein case, the American people have not been buying at all ... less than half of Republicans are buying it. This is his worst issue by far"

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

The thought I've been having about "cancel culture" is that 1000 girls were raped and trafficked by Epstein, partly because of his connection to the modeling biz. Harvey Weinstein harassed or assaulted almost every famous starlet you can think of. Not enough canceling, really.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

Thank you! Weird how most of the stories are ducking the question of what it means that Trump spent hours with one of the victims, although it's very likely to mean what it sounds like it means.....

fellas is it normal for a funding bill to waive the sovereign immunity of the united states government in the context of when senators are targets of federal investigation

It's amazing that neither Schumer nor any of the eight turncoats can summon this rhetorical energy.
Do I trust them? No. That’s why I voted no. But they are in a terrible position, and we can use the next few weeks to turn the pressure up even further.

Haha. Shaheen's daughter is running for Congress and she feels the need to blast the deal:

They’re losing the wine moms and the Carter grandparents and even the “Vote Blue No Matter Who”. When you’ve got Chris Cilizza being like “yo what the fuck” you’re in for a reckoning, and I don’t think they see it coming

IMO the absolutely vital reason to transform the Democratic Party is so that, once we're back in power, we actually do the radical stuff that needs doing so we don't just end up right back here again

We should still call for a new D minority leader in the Senate. I think Durbin should retire NOW and let Pritzker fill his spot with someone with a backbone.

I appreciated Josh Marshall's take that the Dems fought harder this time but fumbled the ball at the end. The lesson being that we need a leaner, meaner party that will fight all the way through the next decade. "Meanwhile, keep purging all the folks who can’t get with the new program."

Harm to SNAP recipients, federal workers, and others is real. In a normal democracy it’d make sense to prioritize reducing that harm in the short term.

In a rapidly backsliding democracy, harm is happening no matter what. Preventing authoritarian consolidation is the most harm-reducing move.
two contradictory ideas that i hold in my head at the same time: 1) i think the threat to both SNAP recipients and federal workers is significant enough now that even bad deals are worth making to prevent further harm, and, 2) everyone who caves now should retire in shame

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

For what it's worth, I do basically agree that even pretty good Dem Senators (e.g. Booker) should face a strong primary challenge

Some of them may end up deserving to win those primaries! But they should still have to face them

I see people saying this is still the Republicans fucking everyone over. And sure, they are the true villains. But if people don't get that because of poor communication, that is Dem leadership's fault.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

I realize the big question I have tonight is, Why is the leader of the Dem caucus someone who backed Cuomo, who aligned himself with Trump? What daylight is there between Schumer's positions and Trump's, if they both support Andrew Cuomo?
